Google also clarified that other page experience signals are not directly used for ranking purposes in Google Search.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Google wrote. <\/strong>The updated documentation is in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/appearance\/page-experience\">ranking section<\/a> of the document and it now reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\nCore Web Vitals are used by our ranking systems. We recommend site owners achieve good Core Web Vitals for success with Search and to ensure a great user experience <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly. Keep in mind that getting good results in reports like Search Console\u2019s Core Web Vitals report or third-party tools doesn\u2019t guarantee that your pages will rank at the top of Google Search results; there\u2019s more to great page experience than Core Web Vitals scores alone. These scores are meant to help you to improve your site for your users overall, and trying to get a perfect score just for SEO reasons may not be the best use of your time.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It previously said:<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/1038259\/SEL_Post-text --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1693000027709-0\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"post-break\"><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>There are many aspects to page experience, including some listed on this page. While not all aspects may be directly used to inform ranking, they do generally align with success in search ranking and are worth attention.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So you can see that Google is clearly saying again that Core Web Vitals is used in the Google search ranking system. But Google added, \u201ctrying to get a perfect score just for SEO reasons may not be the best use of your time.\u201d That implies that this score for ranking purposes is super lightweight compared to other ranking signals.<\/p>\n<p>Google also added:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Beyond Core Web Vitals, other page experience aspects don\u2019t directly help your website rank higher in search results. However, they can make your website more satisfying to use, which is generally aligned with what our ranking systems seek to reward. Therefore it\u2019s still worth working to improve page experience overall.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Previously that said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>We highly recommend site owners achieve good Core Web Vitals for success with Search and to ensure a great user experience generally. However, great page experience involves more than Core Web Vitals. Good stats within the Core Web Vitals report in Search Console or third-party Core Web Vitals reports don\u2019t guarantee good rankings.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So Google is clearly saying that other page experience signals are not used in Google\u2019s ranking system, at least not directly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Core Web Vitals updated. <\/strong>As we noted on Sunday, the new INP metric replaced FID as a core web vitals metric today. That being said, as noted above, these are very lightweight signals and it might be best for you to focus your SEO efforts in other areas before you focus on Core Web Vitals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we care. <\/strong>Months ago, Google told us the Google page experience was never a ranking \u201csystem\u201d but is still considered a ranking \u201csignal,\u201d Danny Sullivan, Google\u2019s Search Liaison, said this morning.\u00a0 These statements caused a lot of confusion, so Google clarified these in the updated documentation.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, John Mueller of Google posted this morning on\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/johnmu_understanding-google-page-experience-google-activity-7173305835299790849-fa4o\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0about Core Web Vitals saying, \u201cit\u2019s not going to make your site\u2019s rankings jump up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Hat tip to Glenn Gabe for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/glenngabe\/status\/1767611123937796104\">spotting this<\/a> and notifying me of the change.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"about-author\">\n    About the author<\/p>\n<div class=\"information\">\n<div class=\"author-module\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-3 text-center\">\n<div class=\"avatar\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid rounded-circle avatar-border\" alt=\"Barry Schwartz\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/images\/authors\/BarrySchwartz-lg.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid rounded-circle avatar-border\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/images\/authors\/BarrySchwartz-lg.jpg\" alt=\"Barry Schwartz\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\"><\/noscript>\n                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-9\">\n<div class=\"about\">\n<div class=\"name\">\n                            <strong>Barry Schwartz<\/strong>\n                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"row g-2 pt-2\">\n<div class=\"col-auto twitter\">\n                                    <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/follow?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fsearchengineland.com%2F&amp;region=follow_link&amp;screen_name=rustybrick&amp;tw_p=followbutton&amp;variant=2.0\" aria-label=\"opens in a new tab\"><i class=\"fab fa-x-twitter\"><\/i><\/a>\n                            <\/div>\n<div class=\"col-auto\">\n                                    <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rustybrick\" aria-label=\"opens in a new tab\"><i class=\"fab fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a>\n                                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                        Barry Schwartz is a Contributing Editor to Search Engine Land and a member of the programming team for SMX events.
